SYNOPSIS: Carpal tunnel syndrome is common in women, manual laborers, and during pregnancy; it is often associated with medical conditions such as obesity and diabetes. The musculoskeletal rehabilitation clinician's appr…
Background Peroneal muscles are the primary stabilizers against ankle inversion movements associated with lateral ankle sprains. Individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) demonstrate peroneal muscle deficits inclu…
Objective To estimate the minimal important change (MIC) in the amount of time spent at different physical activity intensities (sedentary behavior [SB], light-intensity physical activity [LPA], and moderate-to-vigorous …
Background Together with the aging of the world population, stroke incidence is expected to increase in the coming years. Stroke is frequently associated with sensorimotor impairments of the upper limb, including proprio…
To examine Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities, market, and regional characteristics associated with operational AI adoption across three functional domains and breadth of use. Retrospective cohort study using multivaria…
Background Road Traffic Injuries affect more than 50 million people each year. Whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) are among the most common musculoskeletal conditions resulting from these injuries, affecting up to 83% o…
Importance Home health and outpatient physical therapy are important for recovery after lower extremity joint replacement (LEJR), yet their use may be influenced by social determinants of health (SDOH). Objective The obj…
Background Changing diet and exercise behaviors are first-line lifestyle interventions to treat knee osteoarthritis (OA), but many patients fail to adhere to recommended guidelines. Objective To determine the perceptions…
Objective To compare aquatic Tai Chi (ATC) and Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN)-based virtual reality (VR) gait training in individuals with Parkinson disease (PD) and characterize differences in thei…
Background The ability to predict functional outcomes in children with cerebral palsy (CP) after surgical procedures and a subsequent inpatient rehabilitation unit (IRU) stay is limited based on current literature. Objec…
Purpose To prospectively evaluate sonographic changes of the Achilles tendon, patellar tendon, and plantar fascia in a cohort of collegiate athletes over multiple seasons. Methods Longitudinal sonographic assessment was …
Aims Clinical decision making (CDM) in pediatric physiotherapy is complicated by developmental variability, family-centered care, and age-appropriate child participation. This scoping review mapped the literature to iden…
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the leading causes of pain, disability, and reduced quality of life worldwide and has traditionally been managed through exercise, physical activity, and symptom-focused rehabilitation. Howe…
Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is traditionally regarded as a condition with full recovery. However, emerging evidence suggests that some individuals experience residual symptoms, limiting their activity and participati…
PurposeA concussion is a common injury in children and adolescents. Despite how common these brain injuries are, relatively little is known about the underlying pathophysiology of pediatric concussion. This scoping revie…
Background Limited information is available about factors that impact prognosis after quadriceps muscle strain injury, particularly injuries involving the rectus femoris. This study aims to determine whether baseline cli…
Objective To examine whether lower multidimensional prestroke rehabilitation reserve was associated with adverse mobility/self-care status after incident stroke. Design Harmonized longitudinal cohort study. Setting Popul…
Objectives To investigate inter-limb eccentric mechanical characteristics during the single-leg countermovement jump (SLCMJ) six months after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), and secondarily to explore m…
Background Decannulation of tracheostomy in individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI) is challenging and often requires endoscopic airway assessment. A reliable noninvasive bedside protocol could support decision-maki…
Purpose Intensive, motor learning-based interventions such as constraint-induced movement therapy and bimanual training improve upper extremity outcomes in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy, yet required ef…
Objectives Physical therapists (PTs) are increasingly being integrated into first-contact roles for musculoskeletal disorders (MSKDs), but various barriers exist to full implementation. Several barriers may arise from th…
Purpose To explore how Danish physiotherapists use eHealth modalities in musculoskeletal primary care and to identify perceived barriers and facilitators to their implementation. Materials and methods A mixed-methods stu…
Purpose This qualitative study explored barriers and facilitators to adherence among participants of a virtual multimodal (p)rehabilitation program for gastrointestinal cancer surgery and investigated how these aligned w…
